told the associated press and the u.s. has said very clearly publicly that they're working closely with the u.a.e. in south yemen in counterterror operations but again the question mark is ok well how does that translate to what they knew about the if that was happening against a team needs and what role if any they had and and i think the only way we get those answers is again through impartial investigations which is why i do sort of salute the efforts in the house to push this forward and i hope the senate is as courageous to push this forward but i very much worry that unless congress steps up the executive given the fact that they've basically been silent on this for around a year won't so it really is up to congress to push these kinds of transparency questions and conversations or and maybe a hurry as christine says says they i mean they have in various investigations into these alleged abuses in these torture presence in yemen and yet we have seen no action taken on the international level anyway can maybe a seriou

president of the association of american editorial cartoonists at the time we took park -- part in the amicus brief. currently, staff cartoonist for the texas observer, and a career lifelong and many of the people. hustler magazine v. falwell, arose from an ad parity, in which the late televangelist jerry falwell reminisces about an incestuous relationship with his mother in an outhouse. the minister sued the magazine for invasion of privacy. does that mean that it actually happened? and he did not want us to look in the outhouse? libel, and most important, a tort that in virginia with -- which was called intentional infliction of emotional distress. the trial judge turned on the privacy claim, and the jury turned down the libel claim. but it ruled in favor of falwell and the emotional distress claim. the federal court of appeals affirmed the decision, and up it went to the supreme court. the issues, as you will hear in the final appeal, were stark ones, for the american principle of free expression. if the court held that a public a -- figure could silence criticism just because it ma

i just have a question regarding the associated forces in some of the different proposed aumfs and the post-9/11. associate for support of that. i'm wondering to what extent there is a difference in how they are defined to the scope of that and the one that senator corker introduced, or associate forces is a part of senator merkley or represented shifts? i have looked into those as much as i have the senator corker one. >> so the question is about speedy associated forces. >> in the various -- >> and what differences there are between the post-9/11 in regards to the aumfs and the one proposed by senator corker. >> the phrase appears nowhere in the 2001 aumf. it was sort of an extrapolation from a the language about harboring or aiding the perpetrators of 9/11, which you can argue there was some extra authority in there to sweep up new groups. what's happened in the decade and a half since is it's been daisychained out to include groups that are not strictly associated with the original targets of the resolution, including isis, group that was excommunicated by al-qaeda and was actively

i'm the executive director of the american historical association. and it's the american historical association through its national history center that is sponsoring this event. this is an effort simply to provide historical background on important issues that are coming before the congress. it is not an effort to lobby anyone to take a position on any side of a particular issue. but we think it's important to know the historical context. that's what we're trying to provide today. we want to thank particularly the noel foundation which has provided a grant to cover the cost of this. and that's much appreciated. and let me begin by introducing patricia graham who is going to be our first speaker. she's the warren of history education at harvard university. she is someone who's spent much of her life in education but also much of her professional life in public outreach and actually public positions. she has taught at indiana university, harvard, radcliffe institute, columbia university. she's been dean of the harvard graduate school of education. but

jonathan: what is the risk associated with italian debt? hasn't the ecb insulated that risk anyways? mr. rusnak: if you start getting populist movements, you might actually get more issuance of debt and it's going to do going to putt's pressure on debt. jonathan: it hasn't made a massive difference on the long end. market,stated in the just walk me through the idea here. i guess fundamentally you have to ask not just one question about btp's, you have to ask another about bonds. what is more underpriced, bonds or egp -- atp? you highlighted a opportunity just on a relative value basis, whether you are or italianbonds bonds or spanish bonds and compared u.s. treasury's, u.s. treasury's really stand out on a global basis and so you wonder about how i can rates really go just in terms of relative value of flow of funds? think there's an opportunity to own treasuries versus bonds and play that compression trade overtime. jonathan: you agree with that? full in the idea you have some pretty heavy fx hedging costs. mr. rusnak: those are coming down

congressman jerry connelly who arrange the bookings for this room and finally to amanda perry the associate director of the center who did all the hard work of arranging all of this. i want to turn the podium over to professor zachary schrag of george mason university. >> thank you. i am honored to be here today with two distinguished historians of infrastructure and an audience that i hope is willing to be persuaded that knowledge of history can inform present debates. we are gathered in a room eliminated in electrical lights. we arrived by road and air. without pressing my luck and going to guess that many people shower this morning, perhaps in water heated by natural gas. president eisenhower in 1955 said that the unifying forces of our communication and transportation systems are dynamic elements in the very name we bear, the united states. but as a professor has written, so crucial are our infrastructure systems we view them as natural and inevitable. we tend to only notice shortcomings when something doesn't work. when we are asked to boil our water or when a bridge collapses. we pay

we've got ed henry, former president of the white house correspondent associate and mark steyn to discusst happened and what it means. but first, over the past month, a caravan of central american migrants has gradually made it up to honduras to mexico all the way to tijuana, opposite san diego. at one point mexican authorities claim they broke up and american media dutifully reported they did. they didn't. that was a p.r. gesture and a temporary one. in fact, during part of the trip, mexican police escorted the migrants northward. in other words, the mexican government abetted illegal immigration into this country as it's done for many years. tonight, the caravan is on our southern border. rather than wait for the d crossing station to open, many of them jumped the fence. some waved honduran flags when they got to the top. that tells you everything.so when you arrive in a country to contribute to it and assimilatee into its culture, don't wave the flag of a foreign nation. that's when you do in triumph when you invade a country. according to border control, at least one member of the car

they were talking to the players association. there were key folks in the players association that represented the players. one could argue the negotiations didn't go well, don, because they have a policy that sides with the owners. i think what we'll see is the players decide to take their destiny into their own hands. a number of prominent players suggested in private they're not going to pay their $15,000 to $18,000 dues to the nfl players association. and i would argue that the association rendered themselves not effect in the negotiations so players have to come to the table themselves and cut out the middleman. >> i'll give you the last word, quickly, i'm almost out of time. go ahead, steve. >> you know, i would say you make a great point. isn't that sad that i think everybody owner is a white man in america, diverse a country as we are, the way to rectify that is more wealth and prosperity for hispanics, more wealth and prosperity for african-americans. if donald trump, by the way, is moving that ball forward so someday the
